Crosslinkable Polyethylene Compound for Heating Pipes (PEX-b)
SP-PE-X1N is a two-step, silane-grafted, moisture-crosslinkable high-density polyethylene compound developed for PEX-b pipe production. It provides improved heat resistance and long-term durability compared with conventional polyethylene. The compound can be processed using standard extruders together with SP-PE-CATX1N catalyst masterbatch. Crosslinking occurs through moisture exposure.
